TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kstate cat basketball: Also overloards of Iowa State (again, no big deal) => Topic started by: Chingon on September 30, 2014, 10:46:52 AM

Earlier this week, coaches from Kansas State came to Illinois to run the sophomore through a workout. He performed a variety of individual drills and then played some pickup games.

Next week, he expects coaches from Georgetown to make the trip.

The two schools are just a few of those showing early interest in St. Pierre. He has received letters from more than 15 schools, including Division I schools Nebraska and Wisconsin and Division I FCS school Illinois State.

The feedback from coaches has been positive so far, but they want him to continue to develop into a scoring threat.

“They’re saying to attack more,” the sophomore said. "Don’t really worry about the defense. Try to go through the defense.”

The center has visited a few of the schools over the last few months for unofficial visits.

Last weekend, he was at Illinois State. He said that he likes the coaching staff and the Redbirds’ strength and conditioning program.

But for now, Wisconsin is the early front runner, though it is still very early in the process.

“That was the first place on a visit,” St. Pierre said. “I got a really good first impression.”

To prepare for the upcoming season, the sophomore has been working out at Your World Fitness in Spring Grove, where he’s doing exercises to improve his core strength and vertical leap. He's also working with Illinois Wolves, an AAU team out of Bolingbrook.

Once the high school season gets started, Richmond-Burton will count on him even more than during his freshman year.

After losing three starting seniors from last season’s Big Northern Conference East Division championship squad, the Rockets are left with a young – and relatively inexperienced – core, with Sam Kaufman as the lone senior.

“We’re really young this year,” St. Pierre said. “I think I’ll have to be more of a leader and be a lot more vocal.”

I was fine with Brad coming in with the kids we had. If oscar bruces our roster further and we lose a recruit or two, I don't know if that is something Brad could overcome. :dunno:

I have told myself that Brad will come regardless of Currie and/or the state of program but I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't want to come in here and clean a complete crap show up for JC in 2 or 3 years.

Mike McGuirl, East Catholic HS, CT Basketball Club – While Silva was one of the biggest stories of the beginning of the grassroots season, McGuirl made more waves than almost anyone down the stretch of July, in the final week of the month to be precise. A true three range scoring threat, the CBC and East Catholic guard caught fire in Orlando and saw his recruitment jump several steps in the process. By the time it was all said and done, he hadn’t just become a mid-major priority, but had accumulated multiple Atlantic 10 offers and even one from Kansas State.

Moving forward, one of the most intriguing things about McGuirl to college coaches was that he was already a three range scoring threat yet still had his best basketball in front of him. He owns a pretty shooting stroke that is both quick and compact as well as equally good off the catch or the dribble. Combine that with good athleticism at the rim, a reported strong work ethic and the fact that he continues to improve and evolve on a consistent basis and his future is clearly a bright one.

Levi Stockard is the number 2 rated player in Missouri. I think coach Cornshucky may be a keeper. I bet he was in on recruiting 2 quality big men for.us. I noticed at.the scrimmage he was really jawing with bigs. Tall people don't like runts giving them orders.

They were all super early commits, non top 100 players. If they were uncommitted now they'd have more p5 offers. I still think we should recruit top100 guys, ftr, just pointing out the obvious.

I agree, but oscar has a poor record recruiting this type of.player. it seems his strategy is find.projects and.train them to be better or find a gem no one else has found through a program friend or some kid that isn't playing AAU.

Paul Reed. Read this. This kid has been a guard/forward before this year. He grew to 6'8". http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/highschool/boys-basketball/os-sp-hs-metro-vs-florida-challenge-basketball-1125-story.html

I know. I am trying to find at a least one rose in a feedlot. Kind like the kid who was digging furiously in a large pile of horse dung. His dad asked him what he was doing. He replied with this much manure there has to be a pony somewhere in here. Just looking for the pony.

A week ago we were listed as one of the three top.schools being considered by Mark.Smith. The.others were.Northwestern and Butler. He is a 4 star recruit. Now greedy sony-beeches Kentucky and Izzo are swooping in to nab him. I favor limiting the number of top recruits per.school. Spread the wealth. Although probably wouldn't makea difference as Ocsar has 2 stars turning him down. A poor recruiting class is going to mean five years of living in the armpit and buttcrack of college basketball even if oscar is canned.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but immediate playing time is a definite possibility in one of the best basketball leagues in the country. He gets to be on TV, where sweet nike threads, and hang with his buddy Xavier. . .I don't see the downside.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.seccountry.com/south-carolina/south-carolina-basketball-recruiting-class-2017-frank-martin/ampSigh..... spring should be fun. I guess I have dandelions and the possum I am at war with.

Being a veteran snipe and/or leprechaun hunter, I have screwed up gene in my pool that tries to find hope in a dark world of blunt cruel reality. Just read two Sparty players who Izzo thought were turning pro are coming back. MSU was thought to be the favorite for Mark Smith maybe this all will result in a bone for ol' OscarDog.

https://jugofsnyder.com/2017/04/20/negative-social-media-hurts-kansas-state-basketball-recruiting/See what you mean posters have done. Calling Weber.oscar, and demoralizing him. Can't get a foot in the door of a recruit, and when he does I am sure opposing coaches show them our goEMAW posts, and point out that hateful illiterate inbred from Renoland who claims to be a diehard fan. I am sorry oscar I have ruined your ability to recruit, and I didn't even know you in Illinois.

LOL at thinking any high school kid knows about or reads negative posts about oscar on twitter.

You might check out some video on him. Guy is a skilled 6ft 9 player. Will be a sophomore next year. Top 150 player at 190 lbs and is now220. Redshirted at Utah. A player like this is not compromising the future although we will be lucky to sign him as he is looking for playing time.

I can't imagine the chances of immediate playing time at a major program, for a guy who averaged 9 and 6 for a community college program that went 19-11 in a terrible conference, are all that vast.

So Fan, Whacky, FSD, tobias why haven't the jucocruits signed a letter yet? What would happen if Tilmon, Smith or someone else would say I am going to Kansas State? Do we have a Steve Dave conspiracy brewing?

I had a dream we signed a guy named R. Kroot and KU fans thought we had made it up to troll them since it was basically "recruit". Laughed at how clever my subconscious is, then realized said subconscious also knows that we sign no-names to the extent that fans have no way to look up to confirm whether or not they're real people.

made me think of when kroger brand video games don't have license to use player data
